I just wanted to introduce myself. I am an auntie of 5 with no children of my own so they are spoiled. I live far away from them now and miss them all very much. I love Texas very much but being from the BURGH I am still a Steelers fan, as are many here. I enjoyed the Super Bowl very much!

I'll be having my Lap-Band surgery sometime in March. I'm having it for 2 reasons. I need to lose this other person I carry around with me, and I have semi-urgent back surgery tht needs to be done this year. Hopefully in 6 to 8 months I'll have enough weight off my abdomen to lay on it and not have any complications being intibated, which is the concern now.

I'm glad to be here and hope to find some answers. I have already posted in another forum.

Hi AuntieDee! We are so glad to have you join us. I am sorry to hear about your back problems, but glad that the band will hopefully be able to help you get the surgery you need.

Please keep us posted on how you are doing and let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Aunti Dee!! Keep me posted on your progress! I'm due to be banded 2/18 - the time before surgery flys!!

Love,

M
